Drawing Amazing Backgrounds with Perspective - Step by Step

Learn to use Perspective Drawing Techniques to Improve your Background Illustrations

Course Summary

Welcome to my Online Course, "Drawing Amazing Backgrounds with Perspective - Step by Step." This course will teach you how to use 1, 2, and 3 Point Perspective to create interesting and imaginative backgrounds. You will work with me as we draw an illustration for each example. This will allow you to learn not only how to use these powerful techniques but also how to create environments from imagination.

In the first section you will learn the fundamental techniques that allow you to measure and map distance in perspective. These techniques can seem basic but I assure you that they come in handy when you get to your more complex drawings.

You will learn a variety of techniques to create shapes with dimension through these lessons. Such as cubes, pyramids, archways, and angles. By the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of how to draw rooms, buildings, brick walls, windows, furniture, and all in Linear Perspective!

Things we will be Focusing on in this Course

  • Creative Design Thinking
  • Expressive Line Making
  • Depth + Scale within Our Scenes
  • Mapping Out Space in Perspective
  • Adding Values for Portfolio or Client Work
  • Correcting Flaws within the Work
  • Understanding the Cone of Vision

This course is designed to teach you how to draw detailed backgrounds step by step. You will be drawing an alleyway with one-point perspective, an interior room with two point-perspective, and a view looking up at various buildings using three-point perspective. These will each be created with a different style to give you the most versatile experience possible. It is important that you not only learn how to draw with perspective but also how to create a variety of styles with these techniques. I want my students to be able to relate this information to comics, storyboards, and animation. If you learn to be versatile as an illustrator you have a much greater chance of success. This is what I have experienced in my career and I want to share that with you! Drawing background with Linear Perspective is an extremely important asset to have as an artist. So let's get started right now and put Perspective Art in your toolbox!

This course has been updated with new content as of September of 2023. I have added additional lessons on mapping and dividing shapes in perspective. I have also included more practice activities for you to study and follow along with.

You also get a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee if you are not totally satisfied with this content. I am confident you will find tons of value in this course!

Hello, my name is Robert A. Marzullo. I have been a working professional artist for 25 years. I have been published in comics, created 3D animation and characters for television, illustrated storyboards for commercials, and owned and operated my own sign and design business successfully for over 15 years.

I am currently a professional freelance illustrator and comic artist where I create digital art for my clients. I create sequential art and character concepts as well as occasional logo designs.

I now share my knowledge in digital art and computer software through online courses and have a growing Youtube channel as well. With over 250,000 Youtube subscribers and quickly growing I felt I should create some more in depth content for students wanting to take their skills to the next level.

My goal is to help aspiring artists realize their potential and break their mental barriers that hold them back from creating the artwork of their dreams. We can all do it with the right instruction and work ethic. That is what I am here to teach my students.
